Jarrett and Thayne investigate a mining/explosives case close to his home town. Working well as partners, relationship wise they're still working on catching up. Jarrett still struggles somewhat with articulating his feelings, while Thayne is more of an open book. Their chemistry is still a lot of fun, and the relationship + character development is getting stronger as well. Thayne is such a shoulder of support to Jarrett, and is there for him when he faces his family. 

There're more of the deeper, quiet moments where they share the innermost parts of their psyche, taking a huge step forward. No lack of steamy times either! I quite enjoyed the action, good research went into it, and the mystery continues. But the Cut & Run inspo (Jarrett/Ty similarities) is a bit too obvious. Repetitive writing is less of a problem but it's still there.
